SPEAKERS

Especially in the early stages of starting a business, resource and time constraints are critical to efficiently managing your business. Early-stage entrepreneurs can benefit from the approach of the “Lean Startup” model and the abundance of online productivity tools. This talk will consider the following questions.

  • What frameworks do you need to put in place to manage your business?
  • How can I apply lean startup ideas to managing my project?
  • Do you need a business plan?
  • When is my product ready?
  • How do I get from idea to selling product?
  • How do I get predictable results?
  • How to identify key partners?
  • Essential tools to manage your business. CRM, CMS, email, etc

As usual, there will also be plenty of time for Q&A so please bring your own burning questions to put to our speaker.

Join us before the event from 6pm for Xmas nibbles and refreshments. Then stay around after the talk for more networking until 9:30pm.
